SA election: Free-range eggs claim corrected by Labor

Labor has corrected online advertising the South Australian Electoral Commissioner found to be misleading.

The ALP claimed via Facebook it had brought in a new code for the free-range egg industry, setting a maximum of 1,500 laying hens per hectare.

It now has corrected the statement, acknowledging the code has not been introduced yet and has apologised for misleading anyone.

Greens MLC Tammy Franks took the complaint to the Electoral Commission.

"[I am] absolutely pleased to see that they've retracted their comment and I think they should actually vote for the Greens' bill when we reintroduce it into Parliament, and make sure South Australians can buy true free-range," she said.

"When it says free-range on the carton, it should be free-range inside the carton."

Free trade is the oldest argument in federal politics and the issue that literally defined the federation era but opposition exists to the TPP, courtesy of the Investor-State Dispute Resolutions clause.
